There is no scientific association between malaria and missed period; missed period usually are due to stress,anxiety,sudden weight loss or gain, contraceptive use, Hormonal imbalance. If its just a week you can wait it out it or just do a pregnancy test to rule that out as an immediate cause of amennorhea.
